Default Header bolts

For those who have dynatech header. Did your use the supplied bolts and gasket. Or reuse the old. It seems of good quality. But looks aren't everything

I used the Dynatech bolts but re-used the stock gaskets.

If you use the Dynatech gaskets be careful, they can be installed upside down/backwards and you won't be able to install spark plugs in a couple of cylinders.

Great thanks. Did you ever have them loosen up on you?

Should I heat shield the o2 plugs near the cats and heads. Will they melt? The wires were done

I re-tightened after a couple of heat cycles and no, they didn't loosen.

I had no problem with O2 extension wires, was carefull with routing when I did the install..
